Offshore Processing

Offshore processing refers to managing or handling certain activities outside of a country's borders, often in other nations' facilities. In immigration, it involves processing asylum seekers or refugees in a different country before they can enter the primary country they wish to reach. This approach aims to streamline immigration procedures, improve security, and manage migration flows more effectively. For example, some countries set up processing centers in locations like island nations or third countries, where applications are examined before allowing successful applicants to proceed. It’s a strategic method to control migration and ensure proper assessment of cases.
